Cancellation Policy for our overnight guests as of June 2024:

Until a confirmation is made with the Ovens Staff, no reservations are completed and official. You can e-mail us at info@ovenspark.com or call at 902-766-4621 and someone will get back to you ASAP.

Cabins:

All guests who need to cancel will be able to receive a refund of the full amount less the value of one night’s stay and the administration fees if cancelled before the 7 days prior to your arrival date. Bookings within the 7 days prior to your arrival are considered final. If your travel plans are up in the air, we recommend that you book with us well in advance to take advantage of our seven day policy.

Camping:

All guests who need to cancel will be able to receive a refund of the full amount less the value of one night’s stay and the administration fees if cancelled before the 7 days prior to your arrival date.

If you are cancelling within 7 days of your arrival date, campers will receive a “rain check” which we will honor on dates that are more suitable for our patrons. We know how difficult it is to do everything on your vacation to-do list. The Ovens is always here when you want to make the trip.

Whilst all attempts will be made to provide campers with preferred sites, we can’t guarantee a specific site.

Due to Provincial law regulations the transfer of outside firewood is not permitted (https://novascotia.ca/natr/forestprotection/dont-move-firewood.asp ). The park abides by the Department of Natural Resources daily burn policies, therefore, no campfires from 8 am to 2 pm daily.
